travel are covered in detail. |

experience following an off-trail, higher version of the Muir Trail through
the High Sierra. We have followed most of Roper's route over several years;
sometimes we thought we were lost or overwhelmed, but it always turned
out fine. He treads a fine line between complete instructions that would
allow no mistakes, and an experience that gives the hiker their own opportunity
for route-finding, discovery, and growth. |
